Vistic take the Biscuit


According to a spokesperson for HMV, pre-sale orders for the recently announced, as yet unrecorded, cover version of “Here comes the Bride” by Bristol based psychobilly, country pop-rockers John E Vistic Experience are hitting unprecedented heights. Subsequently, in a move that can only be described as a blatant sell out/cash in to rival the Sex Pistols Great Rock n’ Roll Swindle fiasco, the fun-loving-foursome have announced a special “select the B-side competition” exclusively via world famous blogspot papasgotabrandnewblog to decide which song to cover on the B-side of the special our “drummer’s getting married” single.
According to a source close to the band, the initial intention had been to cover “White Wedding” by punk-pop posers Generation X until it was rightly pointed out that with 3 nippers already crowding out the nest, it wasn’t really a wise choice. The next tune under consideration was soul crooner Roy C’s “Shotgun Wedding” but, once again, it was deemed inappropriate as Danny C. the drummer in question (incidentally, of no relation to Roy), actually seems to be favour of tying the knot (although he is believed to be currently seeing a psychiatrist and may yet have a chanGe of heart).
For the competition winner, the grand prize is a luxury fish n’ chip dinner for two washed down with a couple of jugs of authentic West Country “moonshine” cider whilst being simultaneously serenaded by at least one of the Vistics (or JEVEs to you hipsters out there in the know) somewhere down the Gloucester Road on a Tuesday night.
To enter the competition, all you have to do is post the name of the song you think the Vistics should record on the B-side of “Here comes the Bride” in the comments section of this post.
Good luck, and may the best man, woman or child win!
(PS. If the Best man wins it’s a fix!!)

Tony you know obviously know nothing about popular music it's got to be "Who let The dog's out" by the rather splendid pop combo the Baha Men.
